Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Unable to sleep, Lin Mo once again picked up his phone.

He intended to search the internet for information to prepare for tomorrow’s tasks, but he found that his classmates were still chatting in the group.

Glancing through the messages,

despite the sarcastic remarks, Zhang Yihua was still in the group explaining his animation studio and its future prospects.

It was clear that he was desperate, otherwise he wouldn’t keep trying despite knowing there wasn’t much hope.

Lin Mo couldn’t bear to watch anymore and since he had already planned to invest in Zhang Yihua, he simply composed a short message and sent it out.

[(a)Zhang Yihua, I think your project is pretty good, how much are you short?

Ill invest!]

Though it was the wee hours of the morning, Lin Mo’s statement once again livened up the class group.

[Yo? Haven’t seen you in a few days and now you’re so rich, Lin?]

[Worthy of the man who married the class beauty! 1

[Haha, don’t be mad at me for being blunt, Lin, but aren’t you working as a mover? Where’d you get the money to invest? Or are you planning to invest

5,ooo?]

[Lin, how come you’re out here playing with people’s feelings?)

[Lin Mo, your desire to help a classmate is understandable, but this kind of behavior that gives people hope and then dashes it is very hurtful!]

[@Zhang Yihua, Mr. Zhang, there’s your investor, quickly ask Lin Mo how much he plans to invest?]

Zhang Yihua also quickly replied in the group: [Lin, thank you for your kindness, but the investment I need is quite substantial…]

His words were very tactful, obviously Zhang Yihua didn’t believe Lin Mo could come up with that much money either.

Not just him, no one in the group believed that Lin Mo, a scaffolder, could come up with much money.

[@Zhang Yihua, How much do you need? If it’s over 8 million, I really can’t afford it, since the lottery I just won is only 10 million, and I still have to pay 20% in incidental income tax.]

[What the fuck????]

[Is that true, you won the lottery?]

[Hey, Lin Mo, that’s not how you pretend to be rich, you know. It’s going to be awkward for you if you can’t come up with the money! ]

[Won the lottery? In your dreams just now?]

Zhang Yihua didn’t really believe Lin Mo’s claim about winning the lottery either, but he was really out of options and, acting as a last resort, tentatively said, [I need about two to three million for my studio, Lin, are you really not joking?]

[Haha, one dares to claim, the other dares to believe!]

[If you really won the lottery, shouldn’t you treat us to a meal?]

[Just two or three million, that’s definitely no problem for Lin Mo! ]

[ 1 don’t want to doubt you but could you send us your prize-claiming video to show off on my moments too?)

Lin Mo couldn’t be bothered with the mockery and replied, [Alright, two or three million is no problem. I remember your studio is in Yuhang, right? 1’11 come for a visit after I’m done with things in the next couple of days.)

[ It’s getting late, I’m off to bed, everyone should rest early too.]

[True or false, you all will naturally find out in a few days, @Zhang Yihua,

don’t worry, I’ll contact you in a couple of days.]

The messages once again multiplied.

Lin Mo didn’t bother to check anymore and after closing the WeChat group chat, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a charming smile.

In the past, when he read novels, he always found such boastful segments rather boring and uninteresting after too much exposure.

However, after becoming the protagonist himself, he couldn’t help but sincerely exclaim.

Showboating is indeed a human’s basic need!!!

The next day, early morning.

Five-thirty.

It was still dark outside when Li Jinwen had already prepared breakfast. She first knocked on her daughter’s door, then on the bedroom door.

“Xiaoxiao, time to get up for school!”

“Honey, time to get up. I’ve made breakfast!”

About five minutes later, Lin Mo and Lin Xiaoxiao staggered out of their rooms, bleary-eyed.

“What’s the rush… getting up so early?”

“Mom, what time is it? Let me sleep a little longer, please!”

Both father and daughter were somewhat speechless,

as they usually got up around six for school, which gave them just enough time to cycle to school by seven.

But what time is it now? It’s only 530 am, I’ve slept nearly 50 minutes less!

“Hurry up and get up, there’s a lot of traffic on the road, what if there’s a traffic jam?”

“Breakfast is already made, so hurry up and wash your face, eat up, and then we can leave!”

Good lord,

Traffic jam?

Lin Mo couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

True, Rakshasa City has heavy traffic, and traffic jams are common.

But the key point is, it’s five or six in the morning, it’s not even light outside yet; where could it possibly get jammed?

Lin Xiaoxiao, dragging her tired body, walked into the washroom and said while washing her face, “Dad, why don’t we just return the car? 1 don’t want to take the car to school anymore….”

“How come we’re getting up even earlier than when I rode my bike!”

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, rubbed her little head, and said, “Alright, alright, your mom just bought a new car; she’s bound to be excited for a few days. And you know her driving skills if we want to avoid being late, we really might need to get up this early!”

“It’s just these few days. Once mom learns to drive, you can sleep until 6:40 before getting up!”

“When will that be…” Lin Xiaoxiao despondently put her toothbrush in her mouth and hung her head heavily.

At six in the morning,

After breakfast, the family came to where the car had been parked the night before.

The block of wood behind the tire was still in place.

Li Jinwen checked carefully around the vehicle to make sure there were no scratches before getting into the driver’s seat.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat in the back row, and Lin Mo sat next to the driver.

The vehicle started.

Li Jinwen wore a serious expression, like a warrior heading into battle, slowly engaged the ‘D’ gear, and cautiously controlled the car onto the road.

Rush hour hadn’t started yet, and there were few cars on the road.

“Ah…”

“No rush, there’s still plenty of time, just drive slowly,” Lin Mo yawned and glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, who had already fallen asleep again in the back seat, and spoke softly, “By the way, wife, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

Li Jinwen nodded, “Mm, go ahead.”

“Starting today, I want to invest some money. Can we stop by the bank later to transfer all the money from your card to mine?” Lin Mo paused before continuing, “1 also brought the card my parents gave me, let’s transfer it all to my card later.”

Li Jinwen was taken aback and quickly asked with a frown, “Put all the money in? What are you planning to do?”

Since she was driving, Li Jinwen dared not turn her head to look at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo certainly couldn’t say he was going to bet on football matches; that would be asking for trouble.

Li Jinwen trusted him, but that didn’t mean she would let him gamble.

After all, Li Jinwen didn’t know he had a system.

However, Lin Mo had already come up with an excuse and a rationale last night: “Yesterday, I saw the weather forecast, and there’s been heavy rain recently in Sichuan Province and Jizhou. 1 reckon both the production and transportation of ginger shoots will definitely be affected.”

“Now is the time for eating hairy crabs, and the sales volume of ginger shoots is also at its peak.”

“As supply drops and demand rises, the price of ginger shoots will definitely fluctuate significantly soon, so I’m thinking of stockpiling some and selling when the price goes up.”

Li Jinwen brought the car to a stop at a red light and turned to Lin Mo, asking, “Is this really feasible? Agricultural products are too volatile, and besides, we don’t know this year’s yield of ginger shoots. Isn’t it risky to invest rashly?” Both of them studied agricultural product logistics and distribution in college. Although it had been many years since they graduated and they’d mostly forgotten what they learned, they weren’t complete novices on this topic. Lin Mo explained, “Yeah, I’m somewhat confident. Actually, I’ve already checked last night, and the price of ginger shoots has been pretty stable lately, at worst we might lose the cost of cold storage.”

At that moment, the red light turned green.

Li Jinwen gingerly guided the car forward and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded solemnly, “Alright, no problem. The money in our family is all earned by you anyway, so go ahead with what you want to do, I support you!” “I knew you’d agree, thanks for the support, my dear wife!”

Lin Mo smiled.

“Don’t sweet-talk me. I may say so, but if you really do lose money, let’s see whether I still support you or not!”

Li Jinwen waved her clenched little fist at Lin Mo, “Oh, that reminds me, isn’t Lingling our cousin married to a vegetable wholesaler in Rakshasa City?” “Do you want me to contact her and see if she can help us source some ginger shoots?”
